2013/2014 Voltage owners: has quality improved?

[Spleenstomper]

I'm targeting owners of new 2013-2014 Voltage TH to see if the seemingly plentiful issues the 2010-2012 owners complained about have improved.

I'm looking at a 2014 Voltage 3200, but am leery now after reading some posts. (I know no RV is perfect, but water leaking and slide issues scare me off).

Anyone with a 2013 having issues?

Any comments? Thank you.

Just picked up my 2014 3905 a couple days ago. Only problem so far is I can only fill the fresh water tank half way, not real sure what's going on. Looked for the vent and can't see it hanging anywhere, so I'm guessing its in the belly somewhere. Taking it out this weekend to try it out.

You have 2 tanks that are linked together with a clear 3/4 tube. One of the tanks feeds the other through that tube to get your level above 1/2. Try and fill the tank(s) slowly to allow the large volume of water in the first tank to transfer into the second at a slower rate.
I'll try and post a pic later of the two tanks during the build process.

Shoot some air in the vent hole and it will burp the tank and then it should fill fine.

Yeah, I carry a 12" length of hose the size of the vent hold and use it to blow in air. Lung power is plenty.

We have a 2014 3895. Love it! Ordered in Feb, arrived early June. Some minor issues, but nothing major. Would definitely buy one again. Camping World of Houston was great. I'm glad to hear another Voltage owner had a great experience with them despite the unfortunate experience with the camper. We've yet to bring ours in to correct our list of minor things, but it's nice to hear a good dealer experience especially after the sale.

This is our first toy hauler but not our first camper. Only disappointments are not specific to Voltage. Similar design issues with any of the major brands within our price range.

I have a 2013 Voltage 3200. Ordered it in February and picked it up in April. I am very happy with the camper. The issues I have had were minor and I was able to repair them myself. We ordered an Epic 2 model fully loaded. I have learned a lot from posts on this forum and others, which helped me to spot problems before they became problems. If anyone would like the list of minor issues I will be happy to post them. Otherwise it will seem like I am whining.

Another reason I like this forum, get to hear all the issues people have out there. I was sold on a Voltage but after continuing to read about some of theire quality issues we've decided to go cyclone now (as soon as my TT sells). I know all campers are gonna have issues but it still seems like voltage has them happen just a bit more frequent. Still an awesome looking rig and a 3950 would be my ultimate choice

Have you heard the horror stories on here about the Cyclones?

Remember, on any forum, for any product, you hear all the problems. For every one person posting here with a problem, there are many, many out there, not posting, because they have no problem.

I have a Voltage 3600. Thousands of miles, only a couple very minor issues. Meet other Voltage owners, who have the same experience. ANY product once in a while has a major problem. I do not think Voltages are any worse than any of the other toyhaulers.

That's one of the problems with forums like this: you get a few owners with problems who are really vocal and it gives the brand a bad name. Like Lippert. Good luck with the Cyclone - it's probably no different.

I assume you know that Thor owns Heartland. Thor also owns Dutchmen who makes Voltages.

Thor may own all of them but they are very different products... Voltage does have numerous threads from multiple owners.

2013 here, lots of issues. Best looking TH out there but very little quality control.

Yea... The things not received with the order were put on a "NRAPU" .... So those things were ordered! The other things except the furnace and pull down scree were found on our first trip! Dutchmen has stepped up to the plate and worked with me and camping world and corrected all the issues! Last time it was in for service... Comments were said "ANYTHING" else that pops up email me a pick and we will order before you come in

I ordered a Voltage Feb 9th and took delivery of a "2014" 3895 in May, and had numerous problems! Ordered it with 3 A/Cs and got (2), ordered slide toppers on all 3 slides and got "0", and a extra voltage recliner and didn't get it either! It's been in the dealerships service department a whole lot, but I will say they are BENDING OVER BACKWARDS to correct all the problems. From low air flow in living area to both the blk and gray tanks being labeled wrong not allowing sani flushes to work! Furnace, stereo, door jammers, the lower skirt loose, closet doors fell off in transit breaking frames, party patio not allowing ramp to come down with out someone inside to move,fuel pump bad on Jenny, back patio screen door torn on both sides. Houston's camping world has just made this horrific expirence a lot easier to deal with!!!!

ALL this and you took it off the lot??? WTH

[djtytrev630]

Its a beautiful rig, love the layout..... If I had to do it over again, probably would have went with a Keystone product again, had a Montana for 13 yrs, and LOVE IT!!!!!
